of men who bad put those timbers into
place set themselves Jo'ired!y to save
their completed structure until tl man
who laid worked with them shoulder
to shoulder through the ni.cbt called
them with a nod back to the bank.
Obediently then they collected in a
small knot behind him. murmurous,
;:utturally gnimliliii-r.
The comin:; of Wickershauf s men
was not a thim; of decrees. They pour

at the north ode of the marsh and

""Who is your friend at the time
when you need a friend? Ilarrhraii.
that's me:' '
"llarrisrnn. that's me!" . And there
camp a lull in the valley at Thirty
Mile, broken only by heavy breathing
ami the crunch of loirs jamminir be
neath the bridcre and the uidy swirl of
backed up water.
And then Ilarriiran stood forth. Jaivz
mius da n sling, palms back, almost to
Ids knees, that red headed one minced
forward on the balls of his feet. Har
ridan was redeeming a promise many
weeks overdue. It was spring, and
Ilarriunn bad oino back!
"I'm here." he spoke to that bowed
head, "if you are afthcr carin' to wel
come me!"
'I've been cxpeetiiur you. Ilarrigan."
Atrain that startlinir mildness.
There is little wonder that it deceiv
ed Ihe riverman. listening, "watching
O'Mara's slack form, even Fat Joe's
face burned, even Archie AYk-kersham's
dared flash in triumph. And Ilarrigan's
went savagely exultant.
"You talked out loud to me once." he
(minted. "Js it so diihcult you find
it now to speak up su I can hear'.'"
"Would you promise to listen to ar
gument. 1Iarri-.au.-"
Vililicaiion tore at the other's lips un
til friend and enemy marveled at what
Steve took in silence.
"Vou have beiruu many things in
this eounthry." the lomr tirade end
ed. "Vou came out of these woods
with rairs :i your back and started at
bcin" a gcntlcman'when we were only
blioys. You've mace a gr-reat suc

you that. Fm vou should have stuck
to your soft and lily white pastime, for

"Maybe you nre right. Ilarrigan."
Steve saifl. "Yen may be I do not
know. I have started bis: things ami
left them unfinished. Rut you ate
wronir for the rest of it. Ilarrigan. for
i am iroiair to finish yon!"
Like a blast of wrath O'Mara lifted
and struck him. Ilarrigan's hands had
nut left his hips before he met the
ground, and he was back on his feet
like a bounding ball, only to go down
again before the smashing impact of
, those blows. Caution he tried to use
in rising, and they searched out his
face, his chin, and drove Lira hither
and yon. Open tightin
was not the
river style of fighting, and he closed
tiiis time aud wrapped his gorilla arms
about this fury who fought witfi light
ning strokes to keep him off. His
greater weight o'crbore them both. lie
b-oke away, and his hobnailed boots
pishing out bit the flesh of O'Mara's
templo--thcy tore 't!-e turf where his
face had been.
There was "madness in Harrigau's
hideous roarings of hate, madness in
his blind rushes, and his bull strength
availed at first. He weathered destruc
fion and managed to close again. This
time the lighter man was ready for
Tie scuff of those, armed boots. He
t .vistcd and covered his face with his
e boulder, and only his shirt ripped open
to iPt blood stream from the rent. On
their feet they rocked to their knees!
Faces grindics into tlie "earth, they
k strained and broke away. And always
Harrigin came back and found him
blindly. Once his hairy hands search
ed O'Mara's face, and O'Mara's fore
head went wet with the agouy of fin
gers tearing at bis eyesockets. Drop
ping, be escaped that gouging grip.
Coming up, be caught Harrigau's cbm
and turned him over backward.
llarrigau squandered bis strength in
drunken rushes, his breJth in screams
of hate. And now Steve was laughing
aloud, fie fccrSir that she was 'watch
i?5" W Fh -
ing, laiew what loathing was "in her
ej-es. And be he was a riverman!
Sobbing for air, dripping crimson from
forehead and shoulder, he set himself
and swung from the waist. Like a
pole axed ox Ilarrigan stopped as he
was lurching in. His mouth sagged;
his eyes flew wide in a fixed and stupid
stare. Then his legs folded under him
andJio swayed limply down. But that
blast of wrath would not lot him lie!
It raised him and beat him down
again; raised him and beat him down.
By his throat Steve swung him up by
throat and buckled belt. High over his
head he swung that bulk and lashed
forward from his heels. And Ilarri
gan went back to his panting follow
ers. Twisting and spinning, his body
swept Shayne and Fallon to the
ground.
Allison had not stirred, nor putty
faced Wickersham, nor the girl who
stood with hands nt breasts. And now
toward them Stephen O'Mara wheeled.
His legs "would fail him. and he
steadied them. Blood blinded him, and
he wiped it away. Swaying giddily,
he managed somehow a smile.
"Wickersham. I have met the roan
whom you hired to fight for you." he
called clearly, "and he has earned his
wage! Are you man enough to step
forward now and fight for yourself':"
Wickersham clucked drily in his
throat and lifted an elbow to shield his
face. Shrinking back behind the first
shelter that chance afforded him. he
put the girl between him and bis fear.
And then weakness seized upon that
sick and swaying man, but he spoke to
her to the unspeakable horror in her
eyes.
"Barbara," he called thickly, "Bar
bara:" He groped toward her, and she cried
out and drew back from such hands
as those. Then a black wall rose be
fore him and shut her from his sight
Fat Joe caught him as be fell.
Like huddled sheep O'Mara's men
and Wickersham's watched Joe bear

were bending over Ilarrigan; by the
others he lay ignored. It was a mob
without a leader until, as is the way in
all crises, a new leader arose. Rig
Louie," stolid face no longer stolid,
strode between those two factious and
achieved the unknown heights for
which his eyes had always hungered.
"I work for no man but is a muni' he
boomed. "That bridge she still is
hold!"
Steve had bidden Hard wick Flliott
j watch these men if their big moment
ever came. And Flliott and Allison
watched now. They were sheep no
longer nor malcontents nor misled tools
of cunning. Like wolves they followed
that nameless man who was out upon
the jam. Vickersham's men were
back on the river, but that bridge
would continue to hold. And while
they worked, while Elliott and her fa
ther watched spellbound, bliudly Bar
bara Allison turned, with no thought of
what she was doing, and walked into
the brush.
The river was running clear by dusk
when they raised the first hue and cry
for her. It was dark when a runner
borttoo news to the cabin on the hill
side ihat she was missiDg. Aud when
men had been beating the woods for
her for twelve hurs as best they could
iu the dark and no word came that she
was found Fat Joe no longer dared let
lie in sleep his friend, whose body he
had cleansed and bandaged. At day
break Joe waked bim and told him
Barbara was lost. They tried to argue
with him, for his knees were still un
steady. Lvcn Allison, whose jovial
body seemed to have shrunk during his
hours of waiting, tried to convince him
that the men now looking for her
would find her sor?n or had already
found her perhaps. But he brushed
them away, while he was dressing.. He
,t . .7
threw o:T the bands that tri.'d to'detain
Lim. And it was Steve who found' her,
as he bad known it would be, just be
fore a second night of dread was cios
lug iu upon her.
In circles of-ever increasing radius
he traveled at u fox trot, "which

was kneeling, shaking with terror, face
hidden by her loosened hair, when ho
bent over her and raised her to her
feet.
"l'lease," she whimpered, "ch,

Yet when be spoke her name her
head leaped back, and &he recognized
him insiantly.
"I tried to wait." she chattered v.ith
all the voice she had lefi. "I tried to
sit still until some one came for me,
but I thought I knew the way. I tried
not to listen to the noises. I remem
bered about the stars, and 1 knew 1

when be should brief- her there, with
both of them watching the moon in
the rapids and listening to the waves
lip!-ng the hanks. This was net that
night. That night would never be. Rut
the ro'o'.Ho!i "and bitlern-ss were gone
from his heart. After he had removed
her wet shoes and stockings and brush
whipped suit and sheer b!a--.k blouse
r.iid she slept the sleep of exhaustion
into which she had slipped from un
consciousness without even openiug
her eyes he built a tirjj and sat befure
it until morning came. And when it
dawned and she waked dazedly while
he was preparing breakfast he bad fin
ished reconstructing many things.
Her eyes went from wall to Avail,
frightened still and juestioninir t first,
so he merely nodded and went outside
and left her to remember alone. Re
turning with wood on Ins aim. h
found recollection of much in her ga.e.
She was looking at the thru heeled,
buttoned boots before the fireplace, the
stockings and furred garments cleaned
of mud and dried on the 1 nicks Oi
chairs. A cloud of color stole up from
the blanket edge at her throat to the
line of her hair.
"Vou Avcre wet," he explained s im
ply . "and you were too spent to help
yourself. I could not let you sleep in
them."
,"1 understand," her answer faltered
a little. "I was just thinking. I knew
such things happened, but I thought it
was only in books."
Drowsily she watched him bending
over frying pan and coffeepot, content
herself to lie and rest. Rut after a
time, with fuller awakening, the band
ace about his head claimed her atten
tion. To her it seemed impossible that
this smoothly shaven man in clean blue
shirt could b the same one who had
emerged from a struggle still sicken
higly brutish to her. involuntarily she
shuddered a little without knowing
that he watched.
"I am going to the spring for fresh
water," he told her then. "There will
be time for you to dress, and breakfast
will be ready when I come back."
Submissive before his tone she re
plied that she was hungry; that she
would be ready too. She bad donned
blouse and skirt and stockings and
id iocs and finished braiding her hair
when be re-entered. He showed her a
ti bashi outside filled with ic;v water
for her face and hands. And then lhcy

"1 told you th.it you would find out
some day," Barbara mv.rmute 1 finally.
"I warned you you v.ouid wal:e sud
denly and see how shallow I am."
"Waking has been no sud:!cn thing
with me. 1 finished with dreams a
long time back, but you are what you
have bojui always iu my thoughts. It's
conditions i've waked to. not you!"
i With unwitting ' gi-ud'iiess he had
sometimes tpokeu to her. but never
with such coulraiiied vehemence.
"Why should I find' fault in anything
you hare df;xie cr failed to do?" he
demanded of both her and himself.
" Why shouid you be apologetic or xs-

your worni aim m-u-i ocv.Hl hut I '
can't find it in myseir to be ui;ol j
eitber, because it is a part of iQiUe- j
again any day. It was a vulgar brawl
to you: to me"
"Not just a brawl." she contradicted
quickly, anxious to be understood:
Just oh, so needlessly brutal. At
first it left me only dazed and nause
ated, but after I had had time to think
I made myself see your side of it.
You must crush insubordination. And
still it seems r.s though there might
have been a less horrible way."
"He had balked my work," he told
her sternly. "He has fired upon me
from cover when he dared not come
out into the open. lie has been taking
money for his vork from a man who
was bent on boating me at any cost.

continue in it men who oppose me with
their brains I Aviil light with my brain.
Rut men who force me to meet them

ons. There is no alternative. I have
no choice unless I quit. And that is
the reason I know that this is the end
for you aud me,I My ways would have
had to be c.v.r ways, and we have
learned at last what I have feared for

and I've failed. And knowing that
my failure is not all my own fault is
not going to make it any easier for me.
You've taught mo loneliness I'm never
going to forget as long as I live, but I
don't love you any the less for thak I
dreamed big dreams for both of us."
His voice was dreary of a sudden. "I
promised I'd make these dreams come
true, because I thought my bfe could
be your life. I've not done so. That
thing could never bo. I've talked big
ger than I could practice, and that is
not going to help my self confidence
any. but as it stands now I can earn it
b'ck. I couldn't have done that if I
had married you and waked some day
to find you shrinking from me. It
would have killed it and my self re
spect, too, to have learned too late that
you believed stiil in your own greater
fineness."
' I tell you it is not that!" she cried
out. "Can't I make you understand"
"You have made me understand till
I am sure,' he slated. "I am no longer
vexing myself with trivial things. You
have been unoer'ain. I have seen that.
You are certain now. Aud the funda
mental thing remains unchanged. In
me there is that man who once man
handled Ilarrigan and you didn't
want me to touch you! You don't have
to te'l me any more that you can't love
me. When you drew away from me,
that was enough."
She sat and watched him put the
room in order, and that hurt her more
than anything else, for be would not
let her help. He made her change her
high heeled hoojs for moccasins, which
he brought and laced upon her feet.
Rut the remainder of the day it was
the old Steve who helped her over the
bad bits of going and talked discon
nectedly of many things meanwhile.
And yet no longer the old Steve, who
had been so entirely her own. Hers
was the sad face when they entered
the clearing at Thirty Mite', and a
hoarse shout saluted her return. In
her father's embrace she clung and
wondered that she did not cry. And
two pages had turned for her that day,
for she scut "Wickersham. back his ring

Milk in Winter.
Why do your cows give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature does not sup
ply them with grasses and green
food. But we have come to the as
sistance of Dame Nature with 1?. A.
Thomas' Stock Remedy which con
tains the very ingredients that the
green feed supplies in season, only,
of course, in a more highly concen
trated form. We guarantee that this
remedy will make your cows give more
milk, and better milk with the same
feed.
